Modules Spector Cortex

spector-cortex

info: Module Type Frontend Application — Angular 21 standalone UI (not a Maven module)

Purpose

spector-cortex is the real-time neural visualization dashboard for Spector's cognitive memory engine. It provides interactive 3D and 2D visualizations of the entire cognitive pipeline — from SIMD vector processing to Hebbian graph spreading activation to Ebbinghaus decay curves.

Unlike the backend Java modules, this is a standalone Angular 21 application that runs independently and connects to a Spector Node via SSE.

Key Features

Feature	Description
Neural Graph	200-node Three.js 3D graph with 3 edge types and particle trails
Vector Space	300-point PCA-projected embedding cloud
Scoring Pipeline	Animated 6-phase cognitive funnel
Live Metrics	Real-time recall/remember/reinforce/forget time-series
Cognitive Profiles	6-axis radar chart with smooth profile transitions
SIMD Lanes	16-lane register heatmap
Memory Heatmap	Off-heap segment utilization
Decay Curve	Ebbinghaus + LTP reconsolidation overlay
Query History	Scrollable timeline with latency and profile chips
Zeigarnik Effect	Unresolved memory tension gauge
Habituation	IoR, satiation, and penalty gauges
Mock Data	Toggleable simulated events for demo/development

Technology Stack

Layer	Technology
Framework	Angular 21 (standalone, zoneless)
UI Components	Angular Material 3
3D Rendering	Three.js
2D Charts	Canvas 2D API
State	Angular Signals
Data Stream	SSE (ng-sse-client)

Quick Start

cd spector-cortex
npm install
npx ng serve --port 4300

Dependencies

spector-cortex has no compile-time dependency on any Java module. It communicates with the backend exclusively through SSE:
